SlipAlert can help you impove cleaning and prevent slip risks

Cleaning and slip risk are tightly linked.

Three layer model and cleaning

If you measure the clean dry slip risk and the clean wet slip risk of your floors you will begin to appreciate the big difference that can exist between a clean dry floor and a wet or contaminated floor. if you measure the slip risk before and after cleaning you will begin to appreciate the importance of good cleaning. if the floor attracts normal shoe dirt through the day it may present a higher risk, if it gets oil or grease and water then it will almost certainly present a far higher risk.

Planning your cleaning

understanding slip risks can help you to plan effective cleaning that reduces slip risks. You may discover that one or two floors need extra cleaning, you may find that normal cleaning does not remove all of the contaminants on some floors, or you may find which floors are especailly slippery when wet and therefore prevent slip risks simply by changing the time or frequency of cleaning

When you are buying a new floor it should be safe for the intended purpose. Until now, it has been difficult and time consuming to source a safe floor. Floors have been specified in units you cannot measure at installation. Now you can specify the level of slip resistance you need and quickly test the floor with SlipAlert when its installed.

Talk to Jenny at SlipAlert LLP if you'd like help understanding the different floor specifications and what they mean.

Different situations make different demands upon the new floor that you require

When you specify or buy a new floor, you want the right type of flooring that is safe. A pool surround must be safe when wet and it must be easy to clean to prevent a build up of body fats. A sports hall will mainly be dry but you will need a floor that is safe with trainers, bare feet and possibly socks, and you will need a floor that stays reasonably safe if there is dust or water on the floor.
